Data processed by the STA:

Subscribers

Only basic data about subscribers is stored on the web served: name of company, address, username and
password. The subscriber passwords are assigned by the STA. Forgotten passwords are sent
to subscribers on demand, but only to email addresses associated with the company domain. Subscribers are
advised not to use their assigned STA passwords for other web pages or services.

The STA stores data on page visits for the purposes of analytics.

Users of tokens

Registration is required for purchases of news or photos with tokens. Users must provide an email address and
choose a username and password. The password is stored on the server as an
encrypted hash value.

By registering, users accept the Terms of
Service (for the news wire and photos) and agree to occasionally receive email updates or offers. Users
may at any time revoke the permission to receive email by clicking the news or photos in My Account.

Tokens can be purchased through the third-party payment processors Moneta or 2CheckOut. The users are
redirected to the web pages of the payment processors. During the visit to their web
pages, users are subject to their respective privacy policies and terms of service.

The STA does not receive any personal data from Moneta. Data on the telephone number used to purchase the
tokens is available to the STA on the Moneta web page but it is disclosed only in the
event of returns.

The STA receives the following data from 2CheckOut: first and last name of payer, address, city, country. The
STA does not have access to credit card details.

The STA stores data on token payments and use, including the time and IP address of the transaction.
